A couple of weeks ago, the National Football League won a grievance against the National Football League Players Association that said that they were no longer allowed to publicize the \u201cgrades\u201d that each organization receives from players around the league in various categories. That grievance, apparently, does not stop the NFLPA from giving those grades to members of the media, who can then subsequently report on them.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019re here to report that the Minnesota Vikings have once again graded out among the top teams in the National Football League accoring to the players.<\/p>\n

For the third straight year, the Vikings claimed the second spot<\/a> in the NFLPA rankings, trailing only the Miami Dolphins, who took the top spot for the third consecutive season.<\/p>\n

Here are all of the spots that were graded by the players and the grade that the Vikings received in each of those categories:<\/p>\n

As you can see from the couple of comments, I\u2019m a little confused by a couple of the grades, but they didn\u2019t ask me to grade anything.<\/p>\n

Whatever the breakdown, the grades once again bear out that players around the league see the Vikings as a premier destination. We\u2019ll see how that plays out this offseason, given that the team is going to have some constraints when it comes to money that they can spend and things of that nature, but if the Vikings aren\u2019t as active this offseason, we can be assured that it isn\u2019t because players don\u2019t want to come to Minnesota.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A couple of weeks ago, the National Football League won a grievance against the National Football League Players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780427,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2073],"tags":[7,233,259,100098,1312,2529,6,234],"class_list":{"0":"post-780426","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-vikings","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-minnesota","10":"tag-minnesota-vikings","11":"tag-minnesota-vikings-2026-offseason","12":"tag-minnesota-vikings-news","13":"tag-minnesotavikings","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-vikings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116144053232743371","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
